NetStar-1 successfully manages our clients’ requirements for IT and non-IT investments and helps build an efficient Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) process tailored to individual clients and projects.
The Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 requires Federal agencies to focus on the results achieved through IT investments while streamlining the Federal IT procurement process. As a result, NetStar-1 provides a more detailed evaluation of the agencies’ selection and management of their IT projects, along with the necessity to implement a CPIC process for maximizing value, and assessing and managing risks of their IT acquisitions.

Our professionals provide programmatic advice and guidance based on the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and other laws or regulations that may affect the program and processes.
